Effective attendance management is the cornerstone of successful workforce management, especially in the era of remote business operations. As companies adapt to changes in work environments, a well-designed attendance system becomes crucial to ensure employees align with predetermined working hours. Currently, many companies are running their business activities remotely. If these changes are not made with changes to the employee attendance system, it can be detrimental to the company. Therefore, an effective and efficient attendance system is needed to increase employee productivity.
In this article, we’ll explore key practices to develop an attendance management system that enhances company productivity.
Key Practices for Effective Attendance Management
1. Application-based online attendance
The main challenge of remote work is how to supervise your team to work according to the working hours. With an application-based online attendance system that streamlines the attendance management process, you don’t need to keep calling them from time to time just to remind them. Especially if the application has a fingerprint, facial recognition, geotagging, and an accurate timekeeping system.
Besides making it easier for employees to fill out the attendance list (and make sure they are the ones that fill it), these features definitely assist you to supervise your team to achieve the performance targets that have been determined by the company. No more constant reminders – empower your team to fill out attendance effortlessly while ensuring accountability and performance targets are met.
2. Auditable approval process
Certain actions in a company demand management approval, such as daily work, project decisions, overtime, or leave requests. A real-time approval process is needed to ensure that the company always gets a notification every time a request is submitted. On the other hand, employees can also monitor the approval process from company management to find out how far this process is going and take any action accordingly.
3. Flawless and integrated attendance report
An effective attendance system is incomplete without a flawless attendance report, especially when integrated with the payroll system. This report not only supports company productivity but also facilitates accurate implementation of reward and penalty systems. A flawless and integrated attendance report also makes the implementation of the penalties/rewards system more accurate since it will be done automatically.
The consequences of a poor attendance management system
A subpar attendance system can significantly harm a company, especially if employees sense a lack of accuracy and accountability. Without proper attendance management, team productivity may suffer.
